SEREMBAN: The Mawar Medical Centre (MMC) here has become the first private hospital in Negri Sembilan to provide drive-thru Covid-19 testing to reduce the workload of government hospitals.

MMC chairman Datuk Lee Tian Hock who became the first person to officially get tested here said it takes only five minutes for medical staff to collect oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal swabs from individuals without them even having to alight from their vehicle.
